Compendium of Italian gestures

As everybody knows, Italians use very often gestures to communicate.
Even in Leonardo da Vinci’s “Last Supper” we can see the Apostles talking eachother with their hands.
Knowing the meaning of the single gestures, we are able to understand better what that scene means and we can give the right name of some Apostle too.
It’s another side of the Italian millennial culture.
